DJ Quantic
Thanks to the folks at Blasthaus, the insatiable music beast that is Will Holland “Quantic” will be in San Pancho for a rare appearance this Friday night at Mighty on Utah Street, South of Market. Aside from working with his own handcrafted bands, Quantic Soul Orchestra and El Combo Barbaro (his last few LPs – and this guy is still under 30 years old- have all been critically acclaimed)...

DJ Roger Mas
DJ Roger Más is just good plain fun. Excellent taste, musical knowledge and a deep passion for Latin music- especially Cumbia and its derivatives – make any night dancing to his sessions a memorable one. Just the other night I caught him at the famous ‘El Superritmo” night he does at the Elbo Room with Kool Kyle, and he played a Sonidero remix (The Mexican style where classic songs are remixed by dropping the pitch, giving them a delicious, ‘you’ve been drinking NyQuil but you have to move your butt’ feeling) of the Colombian “Descarga del Bigoton”, as the crowd moved and slinked to the slicing guiro and deep bass. Bliss.

DJ Vinnie Esparza
The consummate professional, DJ Vinnie Esparza has been a fixture on the San Francisco DJ circuit since 1994. He has been named “Best Local DJ” by both SF Weekly and the San Francisco Bay Guardian. As a resident of a long list of parties including Hella Tight, Free Funk Friday, Dub Mission, and Colombia!, Vinnie has got deep experience and a deep LP collection that keeps the crowd moving non-stop. Like his cohort B Cause, Vinnie is a seamless mixer – one minute you are dancing to some funky soul, the next minute to a classic and insistent Latin tune, and the following to a bouncy Brazilian Samba, and you just can’t leave the dance floor.

DJ B Cause
Unassuming but so deep in knowledge and skills, DJ B Cause is one of my favorite DJs. When I first met B Cause, I walked into Groove Merchant, the legendary Vinyl store he runs with ‘Cool’ Chris Veltri and the infamous (in-famous: that’s when you are more than famous) DJ Vinnie Esparza, and heard an old Blues record being cut up on the spot. The sparse guitar line jumped and froze as the needle was expertly moved forward, then back on the vinyl. It doesn’t happen often, but I was stopped in my tracks and thought “Who is this guy?”
